Abstract :
In this paper we consider dual-band GSM networks, where voice and data services are offered to users moving over an area covered with overlapping macrocells and microcells. For this wireless network context we develop simple approximate analytical models of the system dynamics, and we exploit such analytical models for the design and planning of the critical system parameters, with particular attention to the number of traffic channels to be activated within macrocells
